EDMONTON -- Ed Hervey wants the Edmonton Eskimos to get back to their roots.
After spending eight years as a wide receiver with the Green and Gold between 1999 and 2006, as well as six years as a scout in the organization -- including the last four years as head scout -- Hervey was announced as the Eskimos new general manager Monday afternoon at Commonwealth Stadium.

TORONTO -- Evidently, crime does pay.
The Toronto Argonauts' daylight robbery of the Edmonton Eskimos last December netted a gold mine in quarterback Ricky Ray, and almost simultaneously they lifted defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones out of Cowtown by hook and by crook -- and Sunday, guess whose fingerprints were all over the Argos' dismantling of the Calgary Stampeders in the 100th Grey Cup?
So much for the Alberta Advantage.
